    This document discusses two types of dip brazing processes: molten-metal dip brazing and chemical-bath dip brazing. Molten-metal dip brazing involves dipping assemblies in molten brazing filler metal, while chemical-bath dip brazing involves dipping assemblies in molten salt. Chemical-bath dip brazing is more widely used and has advantages like forming strong joints quickly, allowing selective and simultaneous brazing of many joints, and protecting metal surfaces from oxidation during brazing. However, all surfaces become coated with flux that must later be removed.

    DIP BRAZING
    INTRODUCTION

    Dip brazing (DP) is one of the oldest brazing compares to the minute amounts of flux applied per
    processes. The process is comprised of two basic joint in other brazing processes. When the assembly
